Disklavier

The Gershwin disks were converted from old piano rolls played on a very good 
reproducing piano.  It was common for these rolls to be made with 4 hand 
arrangements with the same pianist essentially playing a duet with himself 
much as we can do with MIDI today.  Essentially you have a midi file of 
George accompanying himself.  Great stuff huh!
